Lisa Cabernet Franc 2009

Lisa is a garnet red colour. The herbaceous and tobacco notes on the nose, elegantly give way to classical cassis and black cherry fruit on the palate. Originating from a single vineyard, this full bodied wine reveals a soft integrated tannin structure, enhanced by a prominent lingering aftertaste. Small amounts of this wine are created for the purist.
